REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES.
VALLEY Virginian.l

whom, personally, all who know
them have confidence. Men OF
strong common sense, practical bus
mess experience, and an earnest,
honest purpose, if elected, to serve
the State. Few have sought the
nominations. Ga the contrary, a
large majority have had the candi'
dacy thrust upon them against their
wishes, and have consented to
make the run more as "A matter OF
duty, than of preference. They
will 60 to Richmond, not to c0ncOct
schemes for a reelection, but to do
everything in their power to bene-
fit the State and her people.
Take for instance the ten Valley
counties. In Montgomery the Re
publican candidate for the House,
Mr.. David Riner, is one of the most
substantial farmers of that section
"a christian gentleman, and a
man of excellent business qualities.
For Roanoke and Craig, the legis-
lative candidate is Mr.. G. w. FL
more, for years a supervisor OF
Craig county, skilled mechanic
and man of strong common sense.
There is a good chance for his cleo
ton, and he will make useful and
excellent member. For the Sena-
tOrial District composed of Mont
gOmery. Roanoke and Craig, Col.
ID. II. Houston, the Superintendent
of the Croze Iron Works at Roam
oke is the candidate. Col. Houston
is thorough business man, alive
to Virginia's needs, full of vim and
energy, and just such representa-
tive as the condition of the State
requires to guard her welfare. lie
will 90 to Richmond at the sacrl-
flee of personal interests. 1t is the
men who are willing to make sac
rifices for the good OF the people,
that the time and the occasion de-
mand.
Mr.. J. b. Burhman the candidate
for the legislature for BotetOurt
county, is level-beaded farmer,
thrifty, successful, thoroughly up
right, and of fine business qualifi-
cations. He knows what the peo-
pie want, for his interests and his
sympathies are with them.
The Republicans of ROckbridge
have selected a splendid ticket
one that will not only win, but de-
serve to win. Julius Moore has
held various county offices, always
with credit to himself, and to the
entire satisfaction of the people.
In all that goes to make up man,
he ia a man, and the county's in
terests viii be in safe keeping with
him as her representative. Jas. H.
Mccormick, the colleague of Moore,
is strong man-strong in brains,
in character, in personal popularity
and business qualifications. he IS
one of these farmers who make
farming pay. He holds the pillow
himself. He is one Of the people,
and the people have confidence IN
him. 1t is to the shrewd, practical
common sense, coupled with the
earnest, honest purpose Of men like
! Mccormick that Virginia must
look for relief. The Capitol at
Richmond need representatives OF
Just that kind.
A. NJ. McCllntic, Esq, is the
nominee for reelection as the dele
gate from the counties of Bath,
Highland and Allegheny. Two
years ago, Arch accepted the nom
nation and turned double issue
into victory. He has made a faith
full, conscientious representative,
and deserves at the hands of his
people a hearty endorsement. He
will get it. The sturdy people of
the mountain know good man
when they see him, and especially
one born and reared among them,
and identified with their every in.
terest.
In Nelson county tbeOpponent of
the Democratic nominee is w. IL.
Goodwin, a progressive farmer and
thorough business man-iust such
an one as should represent the
sterling county of Nelson.
OF old Augusta candidates, we
have before spoken. Bailey Dun
lap and Benz. Craig are leaders
worthy Of the earnest support of
al the people.
OF ROckingham's delegation we
have also spoken. Acker, Webb
and Sanger is a ticket that will
rally to its support the solid Re
publican vote of Rockingham, and
that means an election.
In Shenandoah, Frank King Is
the nominee for the Senate, and a
splendid nomination it is. The
owner and operator Of an iron far
mace and thoroughly identified
with the interests of Virginia and
her people, with large experience
in business affairs and ambition
alone to serve the State, his cleo.
ton will secure a representative in
the broadcast sense of the term.
His associates on the ticket, Messrs.
Bowman, of Shenandoah, and
Broyles, of Page, are both strong
men, who understand the needs of
the people, and will labor earnestly
and faithfully in behalf Oftheir con-
stituences.
We have mentioned the Republi-
can candidates only in single tier
of counties, running through the
heart of the Valley. Every man of
them would be representative true
to himself and his people, and the
high character of all, is guarantee
that the next legislature will be an
Improvement upon its predecessors.
In other sections Of the State the
rule il observed. The candidates
represent the progress, the brains,
the character and the business OF
the State. With such men AS
Hubbard, in Buckingham, Franklin
in AppOmattOx, Allen in Amherst,
and dozens Of others we could |
name, Republicans of Virginia may |
well be proud of their leaders, and
leave nothing undOne that will
contribute to success.
